Our UW photo contest is the longest running and most prestigious online. If you want to make a name for yourself this is THE place to do it. Just look at some of the internationally acclaimed photographers who have launched their u/w photo careers here over the years.

Dome port theory.. upside down aquarium for the tadpoles to swim up into.. refraction, reflection, distortion, and a little Snell's Window.. did I miss any? there's probably a chromatic aberration in there :-)

Black pearls. I had to remove a blade of grass, thus the category Creative-Manipulated applies. The first full moon in April brings this 48 hour party to the pool every year. This time I had 2 housings, 4 ports, and a pole-cam ready.

Eggs.. for about 2 days each year Chorus Frogs come from the woods to mate in the pool, same time every year they mate and sing all night and day, even in the rain. Then they hop back into the woods for another year. Shortlisted!
